Pip and I get together every year (just about) and celebrate our geekdom by watching the “Grandaddy of them all” – WrestleMania. For those of you that don’t know, this is the WWE’s flagship show and marks the end of the wrestling “season” if there was such a thing. It’s the culmination of story lines that have been going on for quite a while and it’s always the event that is seen by most households. A few years ago we started a new tradition… The Beeramid. In order to create said structure we create a yearly drinking game to be played while watching the event. Below is this year’s list.
- 3 drinks for every match outcome missed.
- 1 drink every time someone uses a sunset flip.
- 3 drinks for each wrestler who bleeds.
- 5 drinks for each “legend” that shows up unannounced.
- 4 drinks if Vince McMahon gets assaulted in any capacity (doesn’t count if he’s scheduled to wrestle).
- Finish beer for appearance of a midget.
- Shotgun a beer and kick each other in the balls if Undertaker loses.
- 1 drink per “foreign object” used.
- 3 drinks for a finishing move reversal.
- 3 drinks when a title changes hands.
- 1 drink every time footage of a dead wrestler is shown or they are referenced.
- Finish beer if Austin gets involved in any of the matches.
- 2 drinks for every time JR says “slobberknocker”.
Thinking back on this… damn were we scared about #7. Shawn ALMOST got the job done… man would that have sucked.
